Ms. Kyriazis recognizes that companies invest a great deal in technology and software tools to improve efficiency and output, but contends that the employees themselves are the greatest instruments (or obstacles) to productivity. She notes, “It’s not all about technology, processes and systems, though. They’re important, but they don’t stand alone. It’s about strategy, tactics and mostly a mindset that leads to the behavior for supporting any change you want to make.”

The book addresses overcoming the productivity potholes and distractions to efficient job performance with Ms. Kyriazis’s solutions-based, results-oriented expertise. Get Organized, Get Focused, Get Moving reveals the same proven strategies to navigating the 24/7 demands of energy and time Ms. Kyriazis shares with her nation-wide clients.
